Ok, so I joined this SAL. I was soooo excited. I promised myself I would not order anymore fabric but would use whatever I have since I have so much fabric. After about a week's delay in going through my stash I find that indeed I don't really have anything appropriate or the right size. I may need to bite the bullet and order the fabric. I am on the fence because I found a huge, beautiful piece of a light blue scrumptious fabric, the right count and plenty of it.I am also on the fence about wanting to keep it as close to the reproduction. Another part of me wanted to do it in a monochromatic scheme. So... I may do it in the light blue and try to use the same colors called for...OR I will order the fabric and do it in the same exact colors....OR I will do it in reds...OR...maybe in blue with red colors.....OR..... I will go back to working on one of my WIPS while I think some more.

Ok, so I should have been putting in the finishing touches to my mom's Last Supper, but I just could not do it. I really want my stitching time. I have plenty of WIPS. I have made it ok with myself to start something new in my stash. I am truly enjoying this one. Here is what I have done so far. I started this on Monday.

I have been off of school for about two weeks now and am thoroughly enjoying stitching and reading time. Havent stitched at my leisure for so long. I am finishing off my mom's last supper piece. it is getting sooooo boring now, I am struggling to finish. I want to get started on some new stuff and throwing old stuff into a rotation.I am interested in the Mary Wiggam Sample SAL through needleprint.com, as well a sampler from ( name escapes me now, but will post when I start it) as well as finish my MLI The Teacher piece.It is so good to read fun books for a change. I am reading one of Anita Shreves books right now, "All She Ever Wanted" cannot put it down and have another one of hers for my next book, plus a Borders gift card my sister gave me last time she came up!
